I wanted to start this weekend off with a trip down memory lane and try to counter some of the awful news about the closing of Toys R Us. So let’s hear it Tankers… what were your favorite retail stores that you got your Joe or Cobra fix from?
Introducing the Whatnot G.I. Joe Super Deformed figures and Vehicles that are 4.5 inches tall and 2.5 inches tall, are fully articulated and poseable and come with accessories, which are usually the weapon they are known for.
Check out all the new images after the jump.
Back in 2007 we all got to see some wonderful images online and in magazines of a new line of GI Joe action figures. I personally remember seeing Snake Eyes and was super excited to learn more.
Initially we got two 5-packs, one Cobra and one GI Joe. Packaged in a beautiful box with either a Cobra or GI Joe logo music box, precut file cards, tons of accessories and figure stands.
We all soon discovered that with removable heads, body parts, and accessories, these became a customizer’s dream! They enabled us to tweak our figures to our individual liking and then be able to share our customs and collections online.
Soon after came yet another awesome 5-pack, featuring more Cobra baddies and then a series of carded figures with ARAH inspired art with characters like Beachhead, Flint and Shipwreck… the rest is history.
Tell us your 25th Anniversary story after the jump.
As expected the Club released a new mock up image of the Arctic Cobra Commander. Sticking closely to the cancelled version from a few years ago. What do you think? Sound off after the jump!
Thanks to Mike Samsel for posting up images of these awesome custom ARAH G.I. Joe vs G1 Transformers box sets. I would buy almost all of these if Hasbro did these up.

“The G.I. Joe animated series of the 1980s and 1990s were instrumental in driving interest in the G.I. Joe vs. Cobra storyline. Drawn from our store of production animation cells in the Hasbro Vault archives, we will be packaging eight randomly-selected original cells from the 1990s series in a custom folio-style envelope. This unique, first-of-its kind offering was produced by IDW and is exclusive to G.I. Joe V.I.P. ticket-holders at #HASCON2017!”
